Kali Neko

Merry Christmas! Let me start of by saying that I’ve been dying to do more pinup style shoots. Looking at models like Ophelia Overdose really motivate me to wanna bring my girls kicking and screaming into more complex shoots. Plot Twist: They won’t be kicking and screaming. They’ll be giggling and screaming “Yasss!” at the top of their lungs. Trust me. Anyway, trying to get more into the holiday spirit, Kali and I did a Christmas pinup shoot. I’m considering this practice because coming into the new year, you’re going to see a lot more of this. You ready?

Kali Neko // Christmas Pinup Session

This Christmas pinup session is special. Most people know Kali for her cosplays. Truth be told, when I met Kali, that’s probably the only thing I knew about her. I didn’t know she did pinup modeling for cosplay companies like My Geek Goddess and Pixel Vixens. I didn’t know she had the capability of being a brand ambassador beyond your wildest dreams. What I really didn’t know is that Kali was born a human with nothing but kitten tendencies. Even as we shot this very session, she was fiddling with the makeshift candy cane we built, using her french tip nails to peel at the ribbon stapled to the tube. Watching it from afar, it was cute.

How to Turn A Kitten into a Candy Cane:

Christmas pinup shoots, or shoots that have a theme aren’t easy. There’s a lot of plotting. This look started with the release of the Elysia Harness from SKG Designs. It’s the first design SKG has released that has involved leg wraps, coming in quite a few colors. From there, Kali.. being a kitten brought together the ears and tail and suddenly.. The look was born.

I‘m always proud to turn our models into published models. These women have worked so hard to create creative and innovative shoots that get approved by editors in magazines. This particular time, Kali Neko, one of our cosplay models put on her thinking cap. She picked a time, a place, and I brought the bath bomb… Together, we brought the magic.

Kali has always been a harbinger of darkness. Somewhere deep in the belly of the beast, there is a succubus and that succubus bathes in the blood of her enemies. that succubus, is Kali.

It is the blood that keeps her safe, the blood that keeps her warm… The blood of the innocent that keeps her whole.Her eyes glow like the darkness. They flare in the night. They can see through the darkest of souls
They can find you.

No one is safe.
No one is home.
In the blood she bathes.
In the darkness, she roams.

Ever since I posted this teaser to Instagram, I’ve been asked a hundred times where the lovely Kali Neko got her Axent Wear cat ear headphones from. You’re welcome. As soon as Kali whipped these colorful little babies out, I knew exactly what type of shoot this was going to be. Pretty lights, pretty woman, pretty sweet. Note: We are in no way affiliated or representing Axent Wear… yet.

In case you didn’t know, Kali is a magical girl. She has the ability to transform from her normal self, to any character in the world, and essentially always comes back to one… Her inner kitten. While you can watch all the transformations live on her Instagram page, the one that stands out the most is the magical kitten. I was always saying that all she needed was her ears.

You can find Kali Nekoin all her full glory on both Facebook, DeviantArt and Instagram. To contact her for collaborations and modeling inquiries, email tiggerwitch1@gmail.com. This year she’s transitioning into a geek niche fashion as well as spreading her wings as a cosplay model.

Let me start off by saying if you don’t know Kali Neko by now, you should check out our shoots together. She’s very talented and notorious for putting her own tasteful spin on all of her cosplays. She’s done Blair from Soul Eater, she’s done a fanart version of Cat Woman and today it’s Dark Link. Heads up! This is a test session, also known as a mini session. It’s meant to be short. The lighting will also be much better in the full upcoming session.
